No Such Thing!
I was born with a broken heart.
So you can’t brake what’s been broken from the start.
I was born between two people torn apart.
Why love?
You can’t feel something not real.
Why hurt?
I’m a brick wall that feels nothing at all.
You are ready to walk out that door.
You want me to say the words
That can make you stay.
What fore?
For a while those words were so easy to ignore.
All I can do is ask you to stay.
I can’t lie to you that way.
Please, Don’t cry!
You don’t know how much I’ve tried.
Love has never been an important part of what’s inside my heart.
I thought you knew that from the start.
You say you love me.
This just cannot be!
One time I believed in love
Until he made me see.
Every night he beat me he said
“Who could possible love you.”?
That’s when I knew.
Love cannot be true.
Then my daddy went away.
I learned a lot that day.
So walk away!
I was never taught how to feel.
I hope you find something true and real.
Don’t act so sad.
At least you got out before it got bad.
You are the only heart I knew to be true
But understand
I CANNOT LOVE YOU!
